Step 1
Rinse the cassava and plantains with cold water. Peel the skin and cut them into chunks.
Step 2
In a large pot add water and bring it to boil.
Step 3
Add cassava and plantain pieces, and boil them for about 15-20 minutes until they’re soft. Test by piercing with a fork after 15 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the pieces to a food processor or blender using a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Pulse to blend, adding water GRADUALLY, until it reaches your desired consistency. It’s important to add small amount of water each time.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter, and take about 2 spoons of the mixture to the middle of the wrap. Shape it into balls. Repeat with the rest of the dough. You’ll get about 8-10 fufu balls. Serve them with stew or soup.
